The new trend is to take popular bands from when the parents were young and obliterate them by turning them into lullabies. Like this Slayer one. Because nothing says "go to sleep my precious child" than a song about Ed Gein making face masks from his victims.

To be fair that's not any worse than how most of our "fairy tales" originated.

I bought Now That's What I Call Music Christmas album a few years ago, and it's pretty darn good.

/well, I admit it was actually a double album: one of the classics and one of current pop stars singing their own, new Christmas songs, but I think I threw the second disc away after listening to it once

The Now! comps became redundant as soon as individual tracks were available inside 10 seconds and for free (or extremely cheap for music). They served a function prior to Napster but now they're just playlists on a coaster.

If Now! discs were available in genres updated once every year / other year they'd have some value as the creators would need to find artists to fill the gaps (and offer better exposure to those who need it) but as Pop comps they're useless as 'pop' recycles itself several times a year.
